  Speaker 1: Welcome end of the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review podcast presented
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: by t I A. A. Bank J P. Shatrick with
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you on today's Friday, August seven, and with training camps
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: starting to heat up a bit, we have plenty to

  Speaker 1: get to, including the Jaguars dot Com debut of new

• 0:24
  Speaker 1: for bubble players facing reduced opportunities, and Gardner Minshew and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen meet the media for the first time in camp.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Let's start with the Ozone podcast. Monday, this week's senior
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: writer John Osier visited with former Jags defensive back, now
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: NFL Network analyst and the newest edition to the Jags
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: broadcast team, Bucky Brooks. Bucky will join us Wednesdays on

  Speaker 1: the score Boards show on radio each game day, plus
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: he'll contribute some writing to Jaguars dot Com. Bucky, welcome
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a board. First of all, I'm excited about that. Hey,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: thanks so much, man. I'm really excited John. I can't
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: sell you out and I am to reconnect with the Jaguars.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Um My fondest memories as an NFL player took place
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. The run that we went on in ninety
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: was magical. Playing with great guys during that time I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: call his teammate Nate dron Mains, playing with Jimmy Smith
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and Kenny McCardell, Mark Brunel, Tony Boselli, all of those guys.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I learned a lot during my time there, and even
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: um learning from Coach Coughland and the other coaches that
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: want the staff, including Dick Grant, very impactful, uh in
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: terms of the way that I viewed the game and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: continue to view the game now that I'm in a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: different role. I'm sure over the course of us working together,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: we'll have a lot of time this fall to get
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: into all topics. But I do want to circle back
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a little later in this podcast on some of your
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: nineteen nineties memories. People around here loves listening to that,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and it's been fun not letting those stories get lost.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: But I'd be remiss if, with all that's going on
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, if I didn't ask you about the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: COVID stuff right now the league. UM, I guess, just
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts? This is going to run in
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: three or four days. As a behind the your show, fans,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: behind the curtains, what you say could be entirely different
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: three or four days. I get that things are changing
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: so fast, But what's your feeling right now in the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: NFL season and just sort of how things are going
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: right now. Well, one, I'm excited because obviously, when you've
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: been around the game as long as we have been
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: around it, your body clock kind of tells you win.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Football season should be about the kick off, and so
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I'm excited that weird time. Even seeing the little b
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: road clips of guys walking into the facility, get into
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: COVID tests, the rookies reporting, knowing the veterans are a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: few days away from reporting, you begin to get excited
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: about the prospect of football being played. Now. It's a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: different time. The pandemic is robbed us of an off season,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a normal off season. We haven't had an opportunity to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: really get excited about our team because we haven't seen
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: those guys and O t A s and mini camps,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and a lot of it is talked about being able
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to just you know, trying to create stories and what
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: observations and those things. So I'm excited to see that.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I do believe is different because of the protocols that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: are in place. I think the NFL has done a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: really good job of putting protocols in place to try
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and protect the players as best they can to opt
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: out um arrangement where you have you're seeing players around
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the league opt out do the their own personal high
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: risk conditions or the concern of family members of those
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in their inner circles, and so that is a little different.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: But I do believe the NFL has had the lux
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you're being able to look at what some of the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: other leagues have done, hopefully UH learned from some of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the mistakes that have taken place to put our players
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in the best position to make it through the season. Unscaped.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: The full podcast available on Jaguars dot COM's podcast page
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: or the Official Jaguars podcast Network. We move along to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Jack's Drive Time. Ashton Solomon, John Osan and Brian Saxson
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: had a conversation about the reserve COVID nine team list
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and the number of Jags play airs added so far.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And it's almost point now where you want this all
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to happen right now during training camp, so it doesn't happen.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: We've gone at the regular season prime. Yeah, but you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: don't know that it won't happen again. I mean that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: there are so many unknowns with this. I scoffed a
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: bit at people who wanted to point the finger and say, well,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars have more than everyone else, so obviously they're
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: not doing something right. Um, give me a break. None
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of us know what the standard is for this thing.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: There were currents factor. None of us know where each
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: one of these players was or can contact trades all
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the way back to where they've been and they've been
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: with for the last two months. I mean, it's just
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: this whole thing is going to be such a what's
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: happening today? The new normal is new because this August
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: is completely different than any previous August, at least in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: my twenty seven years covering this league. It is completely different.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So you say, getting over with and move on. Do
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you know what doesn't come back? Um, you said, well,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to expect things. How do you know?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: How do you know that we're not beyond it at
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: this point? None of us know. And I saw the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: same things you did, Brian, People saying now the Jaguars
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: have had twelve what are they doing? This was all
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: about making sure that players didn't bring it inside the system,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and until it's inside the system, it's being kept out.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: So I don't worry about it. If it happens next
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: week and all of a sudden, there's fifteen guys, then
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. My impression is from reading things around
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the league, from talking to people around the league. The
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the league overall is surprised that the numbers overall have
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: been so low. They think this is a positive. So
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we'll see. But as you said, Bryan, so many unknown
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: it's really hard to analyze if things are doing right
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: or wrong. I'm not sure there is a right or wrong.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: It's basically hold your breath, and I'm not being not
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: trying to be cute there. It's hold your breath and uh,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: wait for this thing to play out. Jaguar's drive time
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: archives available on at Jaguars on social media or the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: team website Jaguars dot com. It's on the head coach
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Doug Maron. He's speaking with the media over Microsoft teams
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Monday and Thursday each week, and Thursday's meeting this week
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: was about thirty minutes of Maron digging deep on a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: wide range of topics. One of those the small number
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: of opportunities to impress for players on the roster bubble.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It is and I have obviously because of my background,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I have a lot of empathy, you know, for them,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and you guys know my background and how I feel
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: when these things happen. UM, imagine how how awful I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: feel when I know that I haven't gotten enough information
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: where I've got to make decisions that in the past, UM,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I've been able to complete a high level of information
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to be able to make those decisions and feel good
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: about it. Even though the process of of releasing players
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: is terrible. UM. I've mentioned that many of times to
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the players that are here. UM, you know what's going
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: on is it's so tough. It went back to before
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I even Jean, before I even worked out whether we're
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be at ninety or eighty. UM, knowing that to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: work we put in and knowing that, I think anything
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in life, as long as you have an opportunity, UM,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: it may not work out well, it may not even
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: be fair, but at least as an opportunity to at
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: least show something so immediately when it came out to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: ninety eighty. I didn't even blak. I I was like,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ninety. I just feel like it's just
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: an important thing for me and what I believe is
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the right thing to do, and then I think it's
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: right for our team also, obviously. So I've talked to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of these players about these difficult decisions and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: how hard it's gonna be. And you know, we may
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: make these decisions and we may be wrong, you know,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: but if it's important for you to continue your career,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you keep keep training. This year is so different, you
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: know than any year in the past. I really feel
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I really don't like that position that that I'm in personally. Now.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the league and I'm not talking
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: about rules, and I'm not talking about the scouts, the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: coaches or anyone like that. I'm talking about me personally.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: You know, it is a UM, it's it's not a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: good feeling, you know what I'm saying. It's not it's uh,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: it's it's stinks and there's nothing I can do to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: change that. I've tried to create these schedules where we
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: can get the most out of our evaluation, you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: from the players. Um. But at the end of the day,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I and I said this right away, I go out
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of the history of of of of this league. This
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: is by far the toughest time too for someone like
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you said, you know, make this football team, because the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: opportunities are going to be extremely limited. And it's a
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: shame because we're gonna miss out on the greatest stories.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: In my mind, the greatest stories to me is a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: guy that's been working and all of a sudden comes
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: out for the team try out that's open to anyone.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: He tries out, he's got something he you know, the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: odds are stacked against him, and all of a sudden
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: he makes it. And not only does he make it,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: he winds up thriving. And and we've seen this throughout
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the history. And we're gonna, whether we like it or not,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: or whether we think we're experts and evaluating people, we're
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: gonna lose a little bit of that. And and and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe that's deep. Maybe um uh, you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm looking too far into it, you know, but
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's sad. When we return the best
• 9:50

  Speaker 1: official bank of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Welcome back to the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Jaguars Broadcast Week in Review podcast presented by t I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a A Bank. Time to get in the trenches with
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Jaguars center Brandon Lender. He met with the media on
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: a video conference Wednesday, and there's plenty of social distancing
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: going on these days, as we all know, but at
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: some point the offensive linemen will get on the field
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and block the player across from them. It's about as
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: opposite of the world we're living in as you can get.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I asked him about any apprehension with that, and what
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: do you wear? The optional shield and his face mask.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: This year, we've been socially distancing ourselves. I've been taking
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: this seriously. Um, I've been talking to the equipment guys
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: about that shield. I guess that goes above right here.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: But I mean, as hot as it's been, I don't
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: know that's gonna be tough. But I mean, because I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: mean in the trenches, I mean you're just right here
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: with another guy. I mean obviously there's your exhaling or spit.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of crazy, but I don't know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: we'll see. I'm gonna take a look at it, um,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: but I don't know. It might be too hot in
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: there to wear it. I mean, you're taking a risk,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and you hope that all the protocols in place are
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: gonna are gonna eliminate or or at least try and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: eliminate some of the you know, having this COVID slipped
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: through this building. I mean, they've been doing a good
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: job so far. But um, I'm gonna take a look
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: at it and we'll see. But I don't know, because
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I've never worn a visor or anything like that, and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I've heard things about the visor being hot in there,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and so we'll see. You really just have to go
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: try it, right, Yeah, Yeah, you're gonna try it. Yeah,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna put it on for one practice and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to see how it feels, see how it looks, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: then go from there. Good to hear from Linda this week,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and it's hard to leave. He's now entering his seventh
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: NFL season, the veteran of that offensive line group. Now
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: to the guy who was receiving the snaps from Linda.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Back on Tuesday, we had our first public visit with
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback Gardner means you the second. As you might imagine,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: he covered plenty, including his short stay on the reserve
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: COVID night team list that made him miss the first
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: day of work. Nah as brutal dude, Like yesterday it
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: has been like the first day of school, you know,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: like had my outfit picked out and everything. How to
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: stay at home. That sucks, missed out playing with all
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: my friends. But yeah, you know, did not contract the virus.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: It took one luck at me ran the other way.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: It's probably in its best interests. So um, here we are.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: We're back on Tuesday. Right to roll. It's had a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: good place in football, meant you. Later discussed his offseason emphasis.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Outside of getting stronger and staying in shape, I think
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: one of the big emphasis um this offseason's obviously been
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: learning the offense remotely. Uh, you know, you haven't been
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: in the eating room every day to be able to
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: ask the questions. UM, So it's been kind of figuring
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: it out, you know, talking to God with us guys
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: on the team that I've been in the system before. Um,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: you know, talking to the coach Griden, coach mcade as
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: much as I can. Just really trying to show up
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to camp ready to run this offense and you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: help everybody ask along. Later in the week, Maron was
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: asked about the quirkiness of his quarterback some of the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: social media and outside the building events of the off season,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: but Maroon said he only sees one side of Menshew.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I get home last night and someone mentioned to me that, hey,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: do you see the thing about you know, uh Gardner.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: You know, a dog barked and he barked it back.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I'm like and like, you know, and I'm looking at
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and the see I don't know so many of the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: things that go on on the outside, So it's hard
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: for me, Like when people like ask me about him
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: or asked me about questions like that. That's the part
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I don't see. Does that makes sense? In other words,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I don't see that part and that in that in
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that in that player. Uh. Not to say that I
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: can't sit see him not doing those things, you know
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Because there's so many people that tell me,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you know, all those things about you know, social media,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: RVs and all that stuff. I see the guy that
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: comes in with with with a mission and a focus
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: every single day, you know, so uh, you know when
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: he's here or around myself. And not to say that
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: we might not laugh about something or joke. We do,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: but I don't see that that other side, Uh that
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: people will be say the quirkiness to think of that
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: nature he's uh maybe I bring that out in people.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know, But I'm just saying I see a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: guy that's focused and you know, it's ready to go.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: And every time he's here and he's working, he's on
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: a mission and he's really working with his teammates. So
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I I you know, I I say that, you know
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he's someone that um, you know, I think has a
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: really good personality, you know what I'm saying, And and
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and and can really you know, laugh at himself and
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: do those things which I think is important in life.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I think that he's someone that can communicate with everyone
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: on his on his team no matter you know, where
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: you are, whether you're you know, the guy that stays
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: in the corner, whether you're out there. Um, and I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: think that's great. So you know, those things are positive.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: But make no mistake about it. Um, you know when
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: he's when he crosses that line and he's on the field,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: or he's in the classroom, or when he's by himself, UM,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: you know, he's working extremely hard. That's what I see
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: from the offensive leader to a cornerstone of the Jaguars defense.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl defensive ended linebacker Josh Allen. Allen was asked
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: about his goals for the year and what he worked
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: on technically in the off season to be the best
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: defensive player in the country, I mean in the league. Uh,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that's you know, high standards, had a high standard last
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: year and I kind of achieved that goal. But now
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I set the bar really high for myself
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: and I'm looking to stay there and stay at the top.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna push myself as much as I could
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: push each year. And this year is I'm not holding
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: anything back. Man, I'm coming in. It's as best as
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I can, the best version of me. Uh. You know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I feel like coming into practice what I did so far, Man,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like the game is grown. I feel like
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I'm getting un comfortable, but it's still it's still a
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: lot I gotta learn. And but uh, I got high
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: stands this year. And and I just know I'm shooting
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: for the top. I feel like, you know, yeah, I
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: worked on pass rush, but I worked on my whole game. Uh.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: You know it was it's so big to get caught
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: up in the sacks. You know, this is just talking
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: around people in the NFL. Uh It's so big to
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: get caught up in the sacks if you're considered a
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: pass rusher. Uh. And I'm not trying to be considered
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: just a pass rush I'm trying to be considered a
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: great defensive player. Um So I'm my main focus was stopping.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: My main focus is gonna stop the run, tackle for losses,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you know, plays that destruct the whole offense. Uh So
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That's really what I've been working on. So I've been
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: working on just quick get off my three point coming out,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: my three point stands is supposed to be. But as
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I can, uh, you know, things like that. But I
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: worked a lot of pass rush. But like I said,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I worked on you know, trying to be able to
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: stop the run and get type of losses and be
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: quick on my first step. For his head coach, Allan's
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: preparation and follow through will be a big part of
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: his success. I think it starts early on. So like
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: for me, there I get started. Uh, it didn't start
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: when he reported here. You know, it pretty started with
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: conversations in the off season. You know, how can I
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: get on the field more, How can I be a
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: better use for the team? I'll do anything it takes, um,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: you know, and then talking about you know kind of
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you know, what he's doing in his personal life, family why,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you know, the maturity them and looking at what he
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: can do better. So so immediately when the season was over,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I think and myself, this guy gets it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: You know, um, you know this guy is is are
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden starting to put together a plan
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: for himself of of how he what he wants to
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: do in the offseason, what he wants to do when
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: he comes back, and is envisioning himself being a successful
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: on the field. That you need that first before you
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: need anything, I think. Uh, the next thing you look
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: at is when you do get a visual, you know,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: how how's he shown up? You know, you could say
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: all that stuff and talk about that stuff, but you
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: can show up and not be in shape, not be ready,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: not be focused. That's the exact opposite with Josh. So,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, all the indications are he's he's
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: exactly where he should be. And that's one of the
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: things that you get excited about, you know, of seeing Hey,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: what what you know? When he gets on the field, Uh,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: it looks like he's done a heck of a job
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: between when the season was over to now and and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: he looks like someone that is not satisfied, that's on
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: a MISSI and that has a lot of goals, that
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: has team goals. You know. That's the other important thing too,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: of you know, how do you you know is it
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: just about me? Me and me? Or hey, what can
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I do for the team? How can I be a
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: better leader? How can I you know, these are the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: conversations I've had with him that that when you're a coach,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: those are the conversations that you know, when they're done,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: you're like, gosh, that's awesome. You know, that's great. So
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: you know that that's where Josh has been and I
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I've I've run into him in town. You know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: we we we ran into him out at the beach. Um,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: not at physically the beach, but at the club, and um,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: you know, he's he's you know, getting his body worked on,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: making sure that you know, hey, I'm ready to go
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and feel like I mean, you know, so I was
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: able to talk to him. I'm like, hey, what are
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: you doing because normally for me, I'm thinking, well, shoot, um,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: first year player and you've had you've gone through all
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: this stuff the first year. I'm gonna get away. I'm
